ROUND THE REGION.
There hate beon a number of dis
patches to the elToct that the president's
assassin, Czolgosz, was a resident of
various parts of the country, The latest
is that a few years ago he was a resi
dent of Duryea. They say that a man
auswcriig his description and giving
his name as Nietnan was head of the ,
gang that committed depredations there
and was at the head of the movement
to blow up a priest's house.
Tho Shickshinny and Huntington
Valley Railway Company has been or
ganized at Shickshinny and a charter
for the same obtained. The road is
to run from Shickshinny to Harveyville
and is acrea miles long. R. P. Robinson
is tho president, li. M. Tubbs secretary
and E. \T. Garrison treasurer.
Justice of the Peace S. C. Motiska. of
Duryea, who has caused the authorities
tnoro # trouble in jumping his hail and
dodging capias than any other man in
tho county, was again missing from
court on Saturday when a case against
him was called.
The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company
has Instituted proceedings to prevent
the proposed now trolley line between
Wilkesbarru and Hazleton from enter
ing either city, on the ground that the
company is not obeying the provisions
of its charter, as it will not carry freight
as well as passengers.
The officials of Mauch Chunk and
those of Carbon county celebrated '
the opening of new trolley linn which Is
to connect Mauch Chunk and Leliigh
ton, as far as the top of Flag Staff moun
tain.
DevfiKtntinir Power of LOCUMM.
A swarm of these Insects stopped the
advance of a Russian army. They
filled the air and blinded both officers
and men, so that the former could give
no orders, and even if they had done so
the men could not hav.e obeyed them, j
The horses would not face them, and j
thoy-lay on the ground many inches j
tldck. Every man and horse in the
army was incrusted with the insects,
and tlieir clothing was literally eaten
off the men as they stood helpless and
blinded. The railways were useless,
as the locusts covered the rails, and the I
oil which exuded from their bodies i
when crushed prevented the driving j
wheel* from "biting." After they had i
settled wliftlo regiments were detached
for Hie purpose of trampling them to
death. Trenthes were dug across their .
path and lUld with burning coals, but
the cDowdiiig swarms actually smother
ed Mbc fire, vast were their numbers.
Even lu a little island like Cyprus in
one year •fifth of the entire revenue
was speat in destroying the locusts,
and eflpQGiollj their eggs. When these
eggs are laid, they are inclosed In a
horny envelope called a "pod," each
pod contfriniieg 35 eggs. In seven
moEths 1,339 tons of pods were de- ;
stroyod. Now, a single ton of pods
contains €0,030,000 eggs, and yet, In
spile of this almost incredible destruc
tion, the locusts are still a dreadful
plague and show little If any symptoms
of diminution la numbers.

COUNTERFEIT GOLD.
GILDING POWDERS ARE MADE OF
COPPER AND SPELTER.
Ilow the Material Tlint Given tho
Shlßlnic, Metallic FinUh to Mirror
ami Picture l'rnun-H In Produced.
Gold I-enf Without Gold.
How many persons who see the shin
ing gold in colored printing and on
mirror and picture frames know that
gold does not enter at all into the com
position of the stuff that produces these
golden effects?
The shining metallic effect Is pro
duced by a fine powder made from a
mixture of Iwonze and spelter. This
offers the cheapest and best means of
gi'ving the rich surface demanded in
wall papers, printing, lithography, fres
coing and In a vast range of manufac
tured articles of wood, paper and iron.
The material used Is so called Dutch
metal, an alloy of copper and spelter.
The relative proportions are varied to
produce different colors. The larger
the percentage of spelter the lighter or
more yellowish will be the tint of the
alloy.
The copper and spelter are smelted In
graphite crucibles containing about 400
pounds of metal, which, when com
pletely fused, Is run off into molds,
forming half round ingots two feet
long by half an Inch In thickness. Aft
er cooling these are bound into bundles
and sent to the rolling mill, where they
are passed cold nine times through a
double set of steel rolls under enor
mous pressure. This flattens them and
draws them out Into thin ribbons from
50 to GO feet long and something more
than one Inch wide. Cold rolling un
der such extreme pressure makes the
metal brittle, so It passes to the an
nealing furnace, which is heated by
wood fire, as the sulphur In coal or
coke would be Injurious to the ribbons.
Having been softened and rendered
ductile by annealing, they are cleansed
In an acid bath, cut Into lengths of
about three feet and collected In bun
dles of 40 or 50 strips each. They are
laid between sheets of zinc and passed
under hammers which beat the metal
strips to the thinness of tissue paper.
This requires six successive beatings,
and great skill must be exorcised to
produce a uniform and unbroken foil.
After the third beating the metal strips
ate taken from between the sheets of
zinc, loosened from each other and
cleansed by immersion In a hath of
tartrate of potassium. The cleaning Is
repeated after the last beating, and the
sheets are hung on lines to dry. In the
beginning the rolled strips are a dull
gray metallic color, at the fourth boat
ing tho yellowish color begins to show,
and after the sixth they are clear and
bright as gold.
The defective leaves are then thrown
out and the perfect ones cut luto small
squares, which are laid together by
hand in packets of several hundred
each and inclosed within an envelope
of sheet brass. The packets return to
the annealing furnace, where they are
softened by heating and slow cooling,
and then go to the beaters, where they
are reduced under Battening hammers
to the thinness of real gold leaf, so thin
that It can be blown away by the
breath.
The manufacture of bronze powder
consists In grading, clipping and pul
verizing the various bronze foils to an
even. Impalpable powder and is an In
dustry of comparatively recent date.
It began as a means of using up and
utilizing the imperfect leaves which
came as waste from the heaters of
gold, silver and bronze. These were
cut by hand into lino clippings and
then ground to powder in hand mills of
simple construction. With the lapse of
time and the spread of artistic indus
tries the uses of bronze powder in
creased until the demand far outran
the supply of waste, and the leaf metal
is now made on a large scale.
The heating process llattens out a
pound of copper and spelter alloy to an
area of about 500 square feet, and in
this condition the square sheets as they
comd from the brass envelopes are
sheared Into small fragments and rub
bed with olive oil through a steel sieve
having ten meshes to the Inch and then
pnssed to the stamping and grinding
machines, where they are pulverized by
steam or water power to the bronze
powder of commerce. The grinding
occupies from one to four hours, ac
cording to the grade or quality of the
powder to be produced, which Is of
four grades, from coarse to superfine.
The superfluous oil Is removed by heat
ing under pressure, and the powder
Is then carried Into centrifugal clarl
fiers, or grading machines, which, turn
ing at a high speed, expel the powder
through tine orifices iu the form of
dust, which settles on inclosed shelves,
according to weight and fineness, the
finer particles at the top, the coarser
below, and In this way the powder is
divided Into its various grades.—New
York Press.

GOT THE POSITION.
She Siicccsmfnlly Plnyeil on the
WcnkiieaH of the Htntenninii.
The New York Herald tells how a
diplomatic j*oung lady who understood
the weakness of politicians secured
some years ago a place in the state
service.
The day before the opening of the
session a shy girl knocked at the door
of the attorney general's office.
"Is the attorney general in?" she
asked timidly.
"Yes," said the clerk. "He will see
you when he gets through with this
long line of job hunters. Just have a
seat."
In the numerous chairs, on the office
lounge and standing were 20 more
waiting for a turn to press some claim
for a position.
The attorney general was rather a
gruff looking man, and lie dismissed
each with the remark: "1 can't do any
thing for you. Sorry, you know, but
there are hundreds of applicants, and
each officer, every legislator, has a
dozen begging for each position."
When the timid girl's turn came, she
handed the impatient looking ofllcer a
letter. She said nothing. She hardly
looked Into his face.
"I'm sorry. Miss C., that I can do
nothing for you. It was foolish for you
to come here expecting to get work. I'd
be glad to help you If 1 could; but, you
see, it's this way: 1 have no influence I
to get you a position. 1 am very"—
"We were speaking of that at home,
but I thought it would do no harm to
see you," she interrupted. "And we
were saying what a pity it was that
you had lost your Influence."
The stale otliclal winced. He looked
as if somethlng hurt him.
"brown," he said, turning to his dep
uty with unnecessary abruptness, "this
young lady is to have a position in the
enrolling departinent. See that, there is
a place for her if you have to muzzle
every legislator in the building."
Oh, for a glimpse of a natural boy—
A boy with freckled face,
With forehead white 'neath tangled hair
And limbs devoid of grace;
Whose feet foe In, while his elbows flare;
Whose knees arc patched nil ways;
Who turns a9 rod as a lobster t'jpicn
You give bim a word of praise;
A boy who's born with an appetite,
Who seeks the pantrv shell
To cut his "piece" with resounding smack,
Who isn't gone on himself;
A "Robinson Crusoe" reading boy,
Whose pockets bulge with trash,
Who knows the use of rod and gun
And where the brook trout splash.
It's true he'll sit In the easiest chair
With his hat on his tousled head;
That his hands and feet arc everywhere,
For youth must have room to spread,
lJut he doesn't dub his father "old man"
Nor deny his mother's call
Nor ridicule what his elders say
Ur think that he knows it all.
A rough and wholesome natural boy
Of a good old fashioned clay-
God bless him, if he's still on earth,
For he'll make a man some day!
